Event Details

Steve Cadigan, the former VP of Talent at LinkedIn will share his stories and lessons learned in going through "hyper-growth" the past 4 years and building one of the most successful internet companies on the planet. While at LinkedIn the company grew from 400 to 3,500 employees and expanded into over 25 new countries in under 4 years! During this experience Steve managed to keep all of his hair and have a real adventure. He has agreed to join us for an informal evening of stories, beers, lessons learned and plenty of Q&A.

Please join us in welcoming Steve back to Vancouver, network with other entrepreneurs and listen to some of Steve's interesting stories around recruitment battles against Facebook and Google and about leading a company that doubled in size 3 years in a row while getting more efficient along the way.
